Hi, I am just online for the first time this week (year?) for
a few moments. Hopefully I'll get caught up by next week (month?).

[the interface from the GUI not CLI, right..?]

I'll address the CLI (C module) issues,

it swaps over to a smooth gradient automatically if the number
of individual cats to be displayed is more than the number of
vertical pixels available (more or less). this is desired
behavior and a warning is sent to stderr if it happens.
a quirk of it is that the legend is "flipped": categories
count from the top of the screen, FCELL ranges have max at the
top and min at the bottom. Use the flip flag if that isn't what
you want.
